DI Keith Fowler Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Always a big fan of when someone who you've never seen take one nailing it first time. Also of Paul Andersons one step kick. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks.

paulwalker71 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I was surprised when I saw Ben Westwood suddenly be revealed as a (not too shabby) goal kicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Ian Hardman was an absolute revelation when he unexpectedly became the goal kicker late in his career at Fev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Sio Taukeiaho has got to be one of the only goal kicking props around, are there any others? (With the exception of one off cameo conversions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippet13 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I remember Australian test prop Greg Dowling kicking a drop goal for Wigan in a Regal Cup final. It was the only drop, penalty or conversion in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marklaspalmas Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Paul Newlove was a good goalkicker. But he packed it in, saying that it affected his all round game if he missed one. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Always good to have as many guys as possible who can be backup kickers in an emergency, even if they normally don't do it. Even if it's someone who can only reliably kick easy ones, because every point can be vital. I remember Wigan losing some tight matches on missed conversions when Samkins, Escare & Charnley were out injured at the same time.

Big Picture Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Lee Crooks and a few others who played in the forward pack of their respective teams. To me that illustrates the versatility of players in RL which is rarely seen (if ever) in gridiron or RU for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Lofter Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Frank Foster was a good kicker, drop goals, penalties, touch finders, up'n'unders. When he played for Oldham, Phil Larder took the penalties and conversions and FF was the touch kicker and drop goal specialist but I always thought it should have been the other way round. Kel Coslett at Saints was a good goalkicker too.. Back in the day when they propelled it with a straight run and toe-poked it to the posts.

I wonder if there any stats out there on the percentage of games that end up with teams scoring the same number of try’s and are won on successful conversions.

MrPosh Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Sam Burgess kicked goals as a junior. Saw him take one from the touchline for Bradford - just missed, but showed enough to think he could have done more.
